This Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup is a great soup recipe to have on hand anytime you have a recipe that calls for cream of mushroom soup as an ingredient.
It seems like so many recipes call for Cream of Mushroom Soup, especially crock pot recipes.
Unfortunately the canned condensed cream of mushroom soups that you can buy at the store are usually not very good for you. If you checkout the list of ingredients, calories and sodium levels, you’ll see that they have some high numbers and lots of ingredients I could not pronounce.
That’s why I am happy to share this super Easy Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe with you today!
This particular recipe makes the equivalent of 2 cans without all the extra ingredients you can’t pronounce, and I like being able to monitor how much salt goes in it.

I am so happy to hear this 🙂

Can you omit milk and use water instead?
Kristie Sawicki says
I have not ever tried that, but would love to hear how it works out if you decided to try it.
Yvette says
Can this recipe be canned?
Kristie Sawicki says
I haven’t tried that before, but I bet it would work.
Linda Strohman says
I had to leave out the celery salt -instead used celery powder. Too much sodium for me. I had a kidney removed -so I have to be careful.
Your mushroom cream of soup and your Onion soup mix is great!!

Christine says
Have you canned this or is it just for immediate use?
Kristie Sawicki says
I have never tried canning this before.
Terry says
This sounds delicious! How long will it keep in the refrigerator?

Thanks for putting this out there. My in-laws come from the mid-west and so many of the old family recipes call for cream of mushroom. Which basically means that we haven’t eaten them in several years because I refuse to buy that stuff. I’m pining this now and I’ll give it a try.

I much prefer to make my own substitutes for cream of whatever soup! Have you tried freezing this recipe? I am thinking that I’d like to make a large batch and then freeze it in appropriately sized containers for use whenever I need it.
Kristie Sawicki says
I’ve never tried freezing it, but I cannot see any reason why that wouldn’t work. I may have to try that myself next time.
Guinan says
Your recipe looks like it could be converted to a dry mix, which I would just have to add to hot/boiling water, using powdered milk and a bouillon cube/powder. I also have dehydrated, powdered mushrooms and could add some mushroom pieces from the freezer. If I want to throw together a fast slow cooker meal, I don’t want to have to make the soup from scratch each time.
Hmmm…. I think I’ll try that!
Kristie Sawicki says
Please do try it and let me know how it works for you! I would love to add it to the post for anyone else who would like to make it this way instead.
Cheri says
Do you think that this could be modified to make Cream of Chicken Soup? I was thinking about omitting the mushrooms and adding finely diced cooked chicken, carrots, and celery.
Kristie Sawicki says
Absolutely! Let me know how it turns out for you.
Linda Thomson says
This looks delicious! I thought it was much harder to make than this. If you can get mushrooms on sale then this would be cheaper than store bought!!!! Thanks.
